| Love this frame! |

| Design transfer onto a blue indigo twill furnishing fabric using a silver gel pen |

| Design number one |
 |
| Design number two |
I did plan to work these two designs separately, and on plain natural coloured linen, however, I found this fabric in a furnishing fabric shop in Benton in Newcastle upon Tyne (north east England) - Absolutely Fabrics, and thought - Yes - I will try this instead!
I also had to hand, this lovely hand-crafted mini slate-frame - used, but ideal for my next project.
Now ready to start . . . when I have time . . .
Tracy, I LOVE this fabric color! Very excited to see this as you stitch it!
ReplyDeleteYes, the fabric alone inspires me! I should take you to "Absolutely Fabrics" next time you're here in Durham.
DeleteHi Tracy the fabric is lovely especially the herringbone effect with the two tone colour. Did you use pounce powder or some other method for the transfer?
ReplyDeleteHello Melanie - I actually used carbon paper, but I could have used pounce, and then I used a gel pen. Hope this helps.
DeleteI like this fabric and the frame is adorable. I need to find myself a slate frame.
ReplyDeleteTry Siesta Frames - http://www.siestaframes.com/acatalog/Slate_Frames_.html, or Needleneeds - http://needleneeds.co.uk/store/needlework-stands-frames/13-little-wizard-frame.html if this helps!
DeleteFor stitchers in the US, Access Commodities is distributing small frames that accommodate 8" and 12" wide fabric cuts. Check Hedgehog Hand works or Needle-in-a-Haystack. Both of these carry a wide range of AC products. I plan to carry these on my online shop. The 8" frame is especially nice to hold in hand while out and about or waiting in doctors' offices.
